Department members, Progressive Firefighters of Fairfax County, Inc.,
and International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 2068, have
been collecting toys, games, coats, and other items to be distributed to
children throughout Fairfax County during the holiday season.

Through generous donations and support from businesses and civic
organizations including Operation Warm/Coats for Kids, Promax Realtors,
Apple Federal Credit Union, Nationwide Creditors, the Rotary Club of
Tysons Corner, Service Employees International Union-512, and
Occasionally Cake, it is anticipated that several thousand school-aged
children and their families will again receive gifts this holiday season.
Area preschool children will also be on hand to receive new toys from
firefighters.

The fire and rescue department, with support from Fairfax County Public
Schools and the Department of Family Services, plan to reach a record
number of children. Firefighters and organizers will be available for
interviews.
